How to exit auto-parry mode?

[Francis Garland]

no idea what key touched (tried almost every key and combination)
now everyone enters an auto parry mode when engaging a combat
(there's a cross-sword icon on the top right of the screen)
have to give order every turn

Any one have any idea how to switch the mode?

thanx~~~~

Switch between offensive and defensive mode by pressing "l" or by clicking the sword/shield icon on party member portrait.
